I have been asked to update our current mission statements for both our library and archive. Would any other museum library/archive be willing to share your mission statement with me? I'm open to helpful comments/criticism. Our current statements follow: Library: The mission of the library is to provide resources and services to meet the present and future scholarly and informational needs of the Cincinnati Art Museum staff and members, as well as the Art Academy of Cincinnati faculty and students. Archives: The mission of the archives is to collect, preserve, and organize for access the records of events or transactions produced by every department of the Cincinnati Art Museum or Art Academy of Cincinnati. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ****************************************************************************** Mona L.
